Although I can (barely) grasp the concept of their hatred of us, what I can't grasp is how this particular act could possibly advance their cause. The only thing this can do is bring the might of our military crashing down upon them.

Yesterday, when talk of the possible suspects first came up, I did a web search and located some FrontLine interviews on PBS.org, which are transcripted here. Reading some of this material may help shed some light on the subject, although it is still difficult for those in our positions to fully grasp.
